SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,316, dated March 3I 1885.

(No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, P. CHARLES GETZ, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvenient in Gossamers, whichirnprovement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure l is a view of the inner face of a gossamer embodying my invention. Fig. 2is a section thereof in line x, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

Itis well known that in the garment for ladies7 wear generally known as a gossamer the armholes are subjected to much strain when the arms of the wearer are inserted and removed and the garment is in service, hence the liability ofsaid armholes to be torn and separated, especially at top and bottom, and the gossanier is accordingly injured.

My invention consists in re-enforcing agossamer in such manner that the armholes are re-enforced and strengthened and enabled to endure the strain to which they are subjected.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body of a garment of the order of a gossamer, which, excepting the features of my invention, is of well-known construction.

B represents one of the arrnholesof the garment, and G the facing or sleeve-piece thereof usual in such cases.

At the top and bottom walls of the armhole,

on the inside thereof, are patches D, and on 35 the inside of the gossanier, at places coinciding with the corners of the facing C, are patches E. The patches D are secured to the walls of tl e armholes by stitches passed through the patches and wallsand the patches E are se- 4o cured to the material of the gossainer by stitches passed through said material and facing C, it being seen that the material of the gossainer at the upper and lower terminations of the arinholes and the connections ofthe 45 facings with said material are re-enforced,thus increasing the strength of the armholes and facings and rendering the gossainer more serviceable and durable than heretofore.

The re-enforcing lpatches may be made of 5o rubber or material similar to the gossam'er, leather, &c.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A gossamer having arniholesB and sleevepieces C therefor provided with patches D, connected with the body and walls of the upper and lower terminations of the armholes, and patches E, connected with the body and 6o sleeve-pieces at places coincident with the corners of said pieces, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

P. CHAS. GETZ.
